Do astronomers ever get any theories correct without them getting BTFO once actual data is collected?
>Evidence is building that the first galaxies formed earlier than expected, astronomers announced at the 241st meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle, Washington.
>As the James Webb Space Telescope views swaths of sky spotted with distant galaxies, multiple teams have found that the earliest stellar metropolises are more mature and more numerous than expected. The results may end up changing what we know about how the first galaxies formed. Images and spectra from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest that the first galaxies in the universe are too many or too bright compared to what astronomers expected.

These are the people telling you to believe dark matter is real.

So you're saying a telescope designed to help scientists improve their knowledge about the early universe is telling them things they didn't know about the early universe?

No one has anything to say about the news that galaxies formed far sooner than previously believed? You're much more interested in some meta drama than the actual science? This discovery dovetails in well with the earlier one that calls the existing theories about the Big Bang into question. Guess cosmology being turned upside down and shaken up has made some rather defensive.

As long as "the science is settled" continues to be a common narrative in the scientific community (no, it's not just IFLS! plebbitors doing it, as the pandemic response by the scientific community makes clear), they will continue to be rightfully roasted when they get something wrong.

>complain regardless
That is the standard of a healthy scientific environment.
If a theory IS true, then all arguments against it WILL fail.
If the arguments against it fail, then the proposed theory lives another day.

I don't understand the mindset that this is bad, or worse, somehow dishonest. I don't know where the gotcha moment in OP's head is supposed to exist. This is what you would want scientists to do. If earlier ideas are observably wrong, why would scientists be expected to keep championing them? That just wastes everyone's time and resources. If you get new data that disproves your idea and you continue to believe the idea anyways, you are behaving in a faith-based manner more appropriate to religion than science. Data and dogma are not the same thing, and some people seem to be genuinely incapable of understanding that.

>> No.15121412

>>15120796
It's mostly a reaction to science now being held out as being unquestionable. Even worse are those who pretend that's not the case when anyone with functional senses sees and hears it daily. Then there are the sycophants who go along with science being above question, until data proves something wrong, at which point they pretend they always were open minded about the possibilities.
Science, as practiced and presented in western societies, is trying to be a religion while taking no responsibility when their edicts turn out to be incorrect. It's a religion with constantly shifting unquestionable beliefs. Very strange that people can work in such an environment without having a mental breakdown but it appears some love it and want it to become even more dogmatic-fluid.

Because nobody is revising their theory. They just add more cope constants to mathematically torture the results to fit the theories. This discovery should disprove a huge majority of astrophysical dogma but most authorities are simply claiming they were right all along even though their prediction was off by eons.
